Priscilla's talk description: Been dreaming of that next destination paddle trip? Tonight, I will begin with a “combo platter” highlighting three of my favorite expedition destinations: Alaska’s Prince William Sound; Baja’s Sea of Cortez; and my recent trip, Stillwater Canyon of the Green River. I will conclude with tips on fitness, the benefits of racing, the joys of downwind surfing, and trying out different crafts such as surfskis and outrigger canoes. The Bay Area has it all!
Bio: Priscilla McKenney has been both working and playing in the great outdoors for over 30 years as a professional instructor, guide, and director for various adventure-based programs including Outward Bound. Much of Priscilla’s work and study has focused on outdoor programming for girls and women. From an ocean sailing family, she discovered whitewater kayaking in high school and has evolved as paddler since then. Her paddling expeditions include ocean and whitewater, as a guide, and personal trips including solos. These adventures have taken her to Alaska, Baja, and San Juan Islands, plus many western rivers. In recent years, she has taken on a new challenge by competing in long distance adventure races, namely the CAL 100, placing 1st, twice, in her division as a sea kayaker. Priscilla is an avid sea kayaker but her latest passion is paddling and racing outrigger canoes.
